More Thunderbirds Are Go comics! 🏝️

In which the pod bros make small talk, Scott is a thoughtful sibling, and John is adept at parenting his murderous toddler daughter. The first strip was about the hydrofoil incident from classic lore, but I watched "SOS" right after (unprepared and vulnerable!) so here's to Gordon breaking every bone in his body twice! ✨🦴✨

I genuinely think wally would try to be friends with bendy, but bendy's not so trusting...and a lil rude.

Ate with the color palette I fear

(digital, made on my phone with my finger despite me having a drawing tablet??)

I love this guy. This drawing was born of a shitpost and spiraled into me putting a bit of effort into it. Original shitposting (without context) and earlier version of this under the cut!

Hand head man just had a nice profile LOL I had to do something with it

okay pitch for season 8. 911 redux of captain bill hader catching jake and amy making out at work and having a heart attack but gerard walks in on buck and eddie's first ever kiss which inevitably turns into more and just drops fucking dead on the spot.

She Has Just Turned Three

every time i check the black sails tag it’s just people saying things that are technically true, but that’s as far as they take it?? What about the ritual sacrifice? the symbolic goat deaths? the murder rope?? zombie house???? we used to have fun on here…

This is going to be an unpopular take, surely, but the Four Swords characters (particularly Red, Blue and Green) aren't really that nuanced or deep. They're all based on stereotypical character tropes and given the length of the manga, the Himekawas didn't really have time to let them go beyond those tropes. I don't know if the Himekawas even wanted to delve much further into their characters, regardless.

And like?? That's ok?? There is absolutely nothing wrong with acknowledging a character has not reached their full potential within the source media. There's absolutely nothing wrong with adding your own interpretations and headcanons to that character to give them depth. Stereotypes (unless harmful) do not make a character inherently bad or less worthy of being enjoyed.

But I'm also sick of the genre of FS posts where it's like "Red/Blue/Green actually has so much depth and other fans are just fucking stupid." My brother in christ you have projected your headcanons on to this character and expect us to see exactly what you see even though it's not present within the manga itself.

blogging so powerful it made Michael Sheen walk right up to the edge of sag afra strike rules 💅🏽
